It’s amazing to think there are telescopes up in space, right now, directing their gaze at distant objects for hours, days and even weeks. Providing a point of view so stable and accurate that we can learn details about galaxies, exoplanets and more. And then, when the time is up, the spacecraft can shift its gaze in another direction. All without the use of fuel. It’s all thanks to the technology of reaction wheels and gyroscopes. Let’s talk about how they work, how they’re different, and how their failure has ended missions in the past. 06:49 Scientists May Have Figure Out Why So Many Spacecraft Were Failing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KibT-PEMHUU Our Book is out! https://www.amazon.com/Universe-Today-Ultimate-Viewing-Cosmos/dp/1624145442/ Audio Podcast version: ITunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/universe-today-guide-to-space-audio/id794058155?mt=2 RSS: https://www.universetoday.com/audio What Fraser's Watching Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbJ42wpShvmkjd428BcHcCEVWOjv7cJ1G Weekly email newsletter: https://www.universetoday.com/newsletter Weekly Space Hangout: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0-KklSGlCiJDwOPdR2EUcg/ Astronomy Cast: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHI67dh9jEO2rvK--MdCSg Support us at: http://www.patreon.com/universetoday More stories at: http://www.universetoday.com/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/fcain Follow us on Twitter: @universetoday Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/universetoday Instagram - https://instagram.com/universetoday Team: Fraser Cain - @fcain / [email protected] Karla Thompson - @karlaii / https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEItkORQYd4Wf0TpgYI_1fw Chad Weber - [email protected] References: https://www.nature.com/news/the-wheels-come-off-kepler-1.13032 http://www.planetary.org/blogs/jason-davis/lightsail-2-successful-flight-by-light.html https://astrobites.org/2013/05/21/kepler-reaction-wheel-failure-cripples-spacecraft-but-mission-thrives/ https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/dawn/news/dawn20120418.html https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/blog/2016/1/dawns-sunny-side-views-of-dwarf-planet-ceres/#RWAs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KibT-PEMHUU https://www.spacetelescope.org/announcements/ann1818/ https://jwst.nasa.gov/content/forScientists/faqScientists.html#wheels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFmOr1vMOT4

A scale model of the X-59 QueSST, NASA’s supersonic X-plane, recently completed a test at NASA Glenn’s 8-foot by 6-foot supersonic wind tunnel. This test was used to verify the performance of the aircraft’s unique top-mounted engine through various flight conditions, from takeoff to nearly one and half times the speed of sound (Mach 1.4). The tests were successful in demonstrating the X-59’s engine will perform as expected when it begins initial flight testing in 2021.

The Photon spacecraft platform is the next step in Rocket Lab’s evolution. Our goal is to help anyone get to space quickly, reliably, and affordably. We started with launch - the common problem faced by the entire industry. The next logical step is spacecraft: by co-architecting our launch vehicle and upper stage, which can also serve as a long-life satellite platform, we have transitioned to a one-stop shop for both launch and space segments. This lets customers focus on what really matters - their applications - without the needless distraction of developing or procuring a spacecraft platform that isn’t optimized for any particular launch vehicle. Electron and Photon fit together by design.

Here’s a fun question that not only have I myself asked, but I get asked fairly often, why do we hear a call out like “roger roll” or “roll program complete” at which point we can see the rocket rotate or roll on its X axis… The best example of this was the Space Shuttle which had a very obvious and dramatic roll program. As soon as it cleared the tower, you can see it making a very impressive and sometimes scary looking roll. Now a maneuver like this makes sense when a vehicle is asymmetrical like the Space Shuttle, but why do cylindrical rockets like the Saturn V, Titan, Atlas, Delta IV etc etc even bother doing a roll? Can’t rockets just tip over in whatever direction they need to go? Do a little pitch here, a little yaw there just as long as the pointy end is going the direction it’s intended to go, who cares which side of the rocket is facing the Earth and which side is facing space… right? So today we’ll first define the pitch, yaw, roll and their corresponding axis on a rocket, then we’re going to dive into why a rocket rolls in the first place, take a look at launch azimuths and their relationships to trajectories and we’ll look at some unique solutions to orientations including some rockets that don’t roll on ascent to align with their trajectory.

After a successful launch of the Falcon 9 with the first Dragon 2 spacecraft, Elon Musk and members of the team from NASA and SpaceX discuss the successful launch with the media.

Watch and discuss live as #SpaceX launches #DM1, their third mission of 2019 and their first flight of #CrewDragon onboard a Falcon 9 rocket. This launch will utilize a brand new booster to launch their first Crew Dragon. This will be the first of 2 demonstration missions to the ISS in 2019, followed by the first operational Missions at the end of 2019 or beginning of 2020. This mission must perform a successful separation & deployment of Dragon into the target orbit, successful autonomous docking to the ISS, successful undocking from the ISS, successful reentry and splashdown of Dragon over the course of 6 days. The NASA Commercial Crew Program is NASA's current initiative to use commercial companies to delivery astronauts to low earth orbit, particularly the International Space Station. Currently both SpaceX and Boeing are developing platforms for this via SpaceX's Crew Dragon and Boeing's CST-100 Starliner. ************************************************************** To learn more about our weather balloon flights, Arduino based flight computer, APRS transmitter, RTTY radio transmitter, ham radio balloon tracking methods or any of our other on-board technology and data sensors visit ➡️ http://overlookhorizon.com Connect with us ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com ➡️http://youtube.com/OLHZN ➡️http://facebook.com/overlookhorizon ➡️http://twitter.com/OLHZN ➡️http://instagram.com/OLHZN ➡️http://reddit.com/u/olhzn ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/discord 501(c)(3) Charitable Donations ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/donate ➡️https://donorbox.org/olhzn ➡️https://paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/2727446 ➡️https://smile.amazon.com/ch/82-3099711 Shop & see the weather balloon equipment we use: ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shop ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/shirts ➡️http://overlookhorizon.com/photos Giveaway Rules No Purchase Necessary.

footage of the crew dragon spacecraft separation from the 2nd stage falcon 9 rocket

spaceX launched its dragon spacecraft under the auspice of nasa into space, on its first demo-1 mission to the international space station

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine is interviewed before the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon onboard for Demo-1, the first uncrewed flight test by SpaceX under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Launch was at 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon separates from the second stage of the company’s Falcon 9 rocket and is on its way to the International Space Station. The test flight, called Demo-1, is the first time a commercially built and operated American spacecraft designed for humans will dock to the space station. Launch occurred at 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

At 2:49 a.m. EST on March 2, SpaceX launched Crew Dragon’s first demonstration mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The intent of this test flight without crew on board the spacecraft was to demonstrate SpaceX’s capabilities to safely and reliably fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Crew Dragon docked with the ISS on March 3 at 3:02 a.m. PST, becoming the first American spacecraft to autonomously dock with the orbiting laboratory. The spacecraft undocked from the ISS at 11:32 p.m. PST on March 7 and splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean at 5:45 a.m. PST on March 8.

Take a tour of the interior of SpaceX's Crew Dragon, targeted to launch on its first (uncrewed) demonstration flight on March 2, 2019. Crew Dragon is designed to transport up to four astronauts for NASA missions, along with critical cargo and supplies, to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The Crew Dragon features solar arrays affixed to the side of the spacecraft’s trunk, a launch escape system that will allow crew members to escape an anomaly at any point during flight, a large hatch and windows and a redesigned outer mold line to enhance crew comfort. The first uncrewed flight is an important step in returning human launches on American rockets and spacecraft to the space station from U.S. soil since 2011.

SpaceX’s upcoming rocket called Starship Super Heavy formerly known as BFR, will no longer be made out of lightweight Carbon Composites, it’ll sweat a lot, and just MIGHT need a TON of WD-40. So we’ll take a look at all of Elon’s most recent claims about stainless steel actually being the best option and see if we come to the same conclusion. We’ll also take a look at some other rockets that are made of stainless steel and explain how SpaceX's use of this material is a little different as they’ll be using new manufacturing techniques and doing things that have never been attempted before. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This video in article version - https://everydayastronaut.com/stainless-steel-starship/ Amazing Starship renders and turn table animation by Reese Carges - https://twitter.com/AstroReeseW Thanks to HazeGrayArt for letting me use his awesome Starship landing animation!!!

SpaceX is building a massive massive new rocket down in Boca Chica Texas that will never make it to space. No, this isn’t clickbait, this particular rocket will never go to space. Because it’s not designed to. This is just a hopper version of their upcoming starship, that some people are calling StarHopper, and at first, this thing will likely only fly a few meters at most. But don’t get me wrong, of course when the actual Starship goes online, I fully expect it to make it to space! So today we’re going to do a quick history on SpaceX’s previous fleet of hoppers, why they build them, what this one is going to accomplish and then we’ll build a version in Kerbal Space Program and demonstrate what we’ll hopefully see the StarHopper do in 2019! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to install Realism Overhaul to Kerbal Space Program - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a6PLkDUWF4 Thanks to HazeGrayArt for letting me use his awesome Starship landing animation!!!

NASA’s first car to drive on the Moon revolutionized space exploration, giving astronauts the ability to travel farther than ever before. Check out the entire Apollo series here!: https://bit.ly/2ApSfg9 Read More: The Lunar Rover was Almost as Badass as the Astronauts Who Drove it https://gizmodo.com/the-lunar-rover-was-almost-as-badass-as-the-astronauts-1721379203 “Apollo 15 marked the start of serious geological training for astronauts. Irwin and Scott underwent extensive fieldwork, including using a geological rover (“Grover”) as part of their training. Worden’s training for lunar mapping while alone in orbit involved flying over new terrain to practice the fine art of geomorphological interpretation from above.” When We Blew Up Arizona to Simulate the Moon https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2013/01/when-we-blew-up-arizona-to-simulate-the-moon/267456/ “In the late 1960s, NASA created an off-world analogue with dynamite and fertilizer bombs outside Flagstaff, Arizona, so that astronauts could train for the Apollo missions.” Looking Back at NASA’s Strange Mobile Lunar Laboratory https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/nasa-had-plans-geology-lab-moon-180952137/ “Once upon a time, NASA had big plans for the Moon… back in the early 1960’s NASA commissioned General Motors to build the MOLAB, a mobile geological laboratory that would have allowed astronauts to live and work away from a planned lunar base for up to two weeks, collecting samples and learning more about the composition of the Moon.” ____________________ The path to the moon traced a dangerous line of risk and reward. In a race against time, the Apollo Program challenged our scientific capabilities and redefined the boundaries of humanity. To celebrate NASA’s 60 years of exploration, Seeker is going back in time to relive each Apollo mission, taking viewers on a ride to an entirely new world. Seeker explains every aspect of our world through a lens of science, inspiring a new generation of curious minds who want to know how today’s discoveries in science, math, engineering and technology are impacting our lives and shaping our future.

They're working around the clock building this thing, and while it doesn't look like something that would fly, Elon Musk keeps telling us it will. Which leads to questions as to why it's designed the way it is, why the team seem to be working so hard, whether the engine nozzles we can see are attached to real engines?

Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity soared to 51.4 miles (82.7 kilometers) above Earth on Dec. 13, 2018. -- Full Story: https://www.space.com/42716-virgin-galactic-spaceshiptwo-unity-reaches-space.html Credit: Virgin Galactic / Mash mix: Space.com

The pilots of Virgin Galactic's VSS Unity reached an altitude of 82.7km this morning, which is high enough for the FAA to award them commercial astronaut wings.

It’s 5 a.m. on a normal September day and #NASAExplorers have gathered in a California field to watch a rocket launch light up the pre-dawn sky. On board the rocket is a satellite more than 10 years in the making, with one single instrument that will revolutionize the study of ice on Earth. Join the team in the excitement and stress of watching ICESat-2 launch into space and begin its work measuring our home planet.

Blue Origin, perhaps the sleeping giant of the aerospace industry, will be going from a tiny suborbital rocket, to one of the biggest rockets ever made… Today, we’re finally going to do a quick rundown on Blue Origin, talk about their upcoming New Glenn rocket and then compare it to some of the other Heavy Lift Launchers it will be competing against.

Aerospace engineers at NASA Langley are helping the Space Launch System —NASA's next heavy-lift rocket— get off the ground. @NASA_SLS will be the most powerful rocket we’ve ever built. Potential stops? The Moon and Mars.

Comments by Elon Musk on Twitter tell us that SpaceX will be turning the Upper stage of Falcon 9 into something closer to the upper stage of the BFR to test key technologies: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1060253333116473344 Details are of course vague at this time, but after thinking about it I think I have a good idea of what to expect based on what's been revealed, what we know and when this is supposed to fly.

Yes, I know I just woke up and the Soyuz story needs to be covered, that'll be done in a couple of hours. However here's what I recorded last night about the Air Force funding of these 2 future launch vehicles, which is big news for US launch industry.

Reuters reports that Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said on Thursday he hoped the United States would be understanding about a malfunction that occurred during a launch of the “Soyuz” spacecraft. He was quoted as saying by Interfax news agency that manned space flights would be suspended until an investigation into the causes of the malfunction is completed. “Soyuz” made an emergency landing near the city of Zhezkazgan in central Kazakhstan after its booster rockets failed in mid-air en route to the International Space Station. It had a Russian cosmonaut and a U.S. astronaut on board. http://feeds.reuters.com/~r/reuters/topNews/~3/n8vIMQg9fc4/russia-hopes-usa-will-be-understanding-about-soyuz-incident-ifax-idUSKCN1ML1BM http://www.wochit.com This video was produced by YT Wochit Tech using http://wochit.com

A Journey to the Edge of Time and Space Visit our sponsor, Brilliant: https://brilliant.org/IsaacArthur/ As we continue our look at Generation Ships, vast vessels designed to carry many thousands of colonists to distant and alien worlds centuries away, we must ask just how far and how long such ships can be made to last? Can space ships be made that will endure even longer voyages of thousands or even millions of years in the void of interstellar or even intergalactic space? Will ships, and their crews, fall apart or turn into Cargo Cults who no longer remember how their technology functions or what their mission was?

Ariane 6 will play a key role in an exciting international Moon exploration project. To be continued… 🚀🌙

With SpaceX announcing the BFR's first official mission to the moon, the possibility of Earth to Earth travel seems a little bit closer. In this video, we look at what needs to be done before Earth to Earth rocket travel can replace the traditional airliners that we use today. We also compare the dawn of passenger rocket travel to the early days of airplanes. Thanks for watching this Primal Space video.

The 700 tonne steel table that will support Ariane 6 at liftoff was transferred to the pad at Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana on 10 September 2018. It is so large that it arrived in parts by ship in February and was then welded together and fitted with equipment at a preparation area 250 m from the launch pad. Moving this giant 4 m high, 20 m long and 18 m wide table to its permanent position on the centre of the pad is complex. Four hydraulic jacks lifted the table then two trollies moved the table to the edge of the launch pad. A temporary railway and a mechanical guidance system helped roll the table into position over the centre of the pad where it will be lowered with millimeter precision into its final position. Further mechanical, fluidic and electrical equipment will be installed inside and outside the table.
